Monday, July 13, 2009

Saturday, July 18, 2009 we will have a "Wills for Orphans" day at our church. Our friend,Shanon Burnett, a local attorney, has offered to donated her day to draft wills and power of attorneys for who ever shows up at Christian Life Assembly between 9am and 4pm. She is charging half her normal price with all the proceeds going to our adoption fund. So people can help their family by helping 4 orphans have a family of their own. If anyone is interested in participating just let us know and we can get you all the details. Thank you so much Shannon!

We have rumors of an appointment date, but we will wait until we get the final news to post the details. We are getting more and more impatient to travel. We would like to get the children before school starts back.

There is a couple in Ukraine now that has just adopted their son Josh. They had a birthday party for Josh and Lyonya and Pasha went to the party. They sent us a photo of Lyonya. Enjoy!

Off to go study Russian with our tutor tonight! Will let you know dates when we do.

About Us * WELCOME - Добро пожаловать *

We are best friends that have been married for 31 wonderful years. We have 9 children (five married and 4 still at home) and 9 grandchildren. The four youngest children, all biological siblings, we adopted from two orphanages in Ukraine. To read about our journey start with the March 2009 post. We always have a house full of people and that's how it's meant to be. We love Jesus more than breath and want to share His hope with others. Our hope is to offer support to orphans and adoptive families through our ministry of Open Arms Adoption.
